Ep. 2 - Building A Life On Lies And Other People’s Money

Course Description 

In Episode 2 of The FraudQast, listeners go inside the mind and lifestyle of Dawn Bennett, who found herself constantly needing to con innocent investors into giving her their money to “invest” by touting her reputation as a top financial advisor to keep up the appearance of her lavish lifestyle. She continued this charade even when she didn’t have the money to do so and refused to sacrifice her public brand appearance at all costs, even if it meant losing all of her client’s money in the process. It shows how sometimes the most trusted people can deceive you and why professional skepticism is always important.
